What I find amusing is the Landmarkian's name, "critical thinker". Amusing because Landmark's most feared nemesis is the critical thinker - it's the trait they seek to destroy in their dedicated flock.

You raise an interesting topic Patrick. To address it one first needs to acknowledge one fact: you can label Landmark many things such as scumbuckets, profiteers, liars, cultists, low-lifes, etc. but one thing you can’t call them is stupid.
